Sea levels may rise faster then we have thought

With a study from Tulane University are questioning the rise in sea levels in coastal areas like Louisianan. The study came to the conclusion that "Around the world, communities in low-lying coastal areas may be more vulnerable to flooding than we realized." A different approach we could do to change the outcome of the sea levels rising is to measure shallow subsidence using surface-elevation tables that would be inexpensive. Researchers Molly Keogh and Torbjörn Törnqvist are arguing that looking at tides gauges may not be the only factor in the sea level rising "As a result, tide gauges do not record subsidence occurring in the shallow subsurface and thus underestimate rates of relative sea-level rise,"  said Keogh they do believe there is more to the sea levels rising then tide gauges.

My reaction is that we have to make an effort sooner then later to change what it is happening before it is to late.

    I believe we have to change this before it is too late. We can still make a difference.

    Wow this could be really bad if the sea level is rising faster than we thought

    Hey... also... please actually summarize instead of just copying and pasting.

    After thinking that the main environmental concern was global warming, I never realized another problem was sea level rise. We need to be able to limit the rise soon or coastal areas could be in danger.

    we need to change this and it is interesting

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
